I had a lot of fun doing this series of portraits. I had less photo gear (camera and onboard flash only) which simplified things.
New portrait-black background
I really like the black background look!
The lighting is somewhat tricky but worth it. I love the hair light too. It just brings out even more sparkle to the image.

another portrait - Victoria Givlin
I was blessed to have the chance to shoot such a beautiful model- Victoria Givlin. She was such a natural in front of the camera.
2018 Portrait in Black and White
There is so much involved in getting a good portrait. Lighting and equipment and finding poses to make the subject shine.
